I have no idea how a sidescrolling platform game can make you feel like you are actually in a war but this article is claiming just that.
This is the side of war that most people who play games never consider, but a side of war that is all too real. This is the core of the game. These are the people hiding in the corners of every modern war game, the ones the camera never stops to look for as you pretend to be a hero. This is the other side of the coin.
